Can his greatest shame lead to his salvation . . . ? A gripping and brutal, yet ultimately uplifting WW2 novel.

March 1943. German solider Kurt Mueller should be dead. He should have gone down fighting. But when his battalion is captured, he shamefully surrenders. Transported to a prisoner of war camp in Como, Mississippi, he has no idea what’s in store for him . . .

Kurt is put to work on a cotton plantation, a grueling task made worse by the fact the farm owner is Jewish. Yet Kurt soon learns that there’s more to his new employer, Mike Bell than meets the eye. And the bond that begins to form between him and Mike’s daughter, Leah, is confusing to say the least.

As Kurt starts to question all he’s ever believed, life in the camp grows more and more treacherous. Anyone who dares to defy the Nazi rule is murdered in their sleep. But Kurt hides an even darker secret . . . One that could destroy his only chance of happiness – with Leah.

A captivating and compelling novel of one man’s life-changing journey as he overcomes his deeply embedded prejudices. Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Nightingale.
